On nitro-tap 9/26/09 at the brewpub, served in a US tumbler pint glass.

Looks like a Guinness after the pour but way lower ABV @ 3.2%. On the positive side, it doesn't taste overly watery like a Guinness. Also I agree with the following from TheManiacalOne's review.

A: The beer is a deep black color, with a short dense beige head that fades very slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is of milk chocolate and dark roasted malts, as you would expect.

T: The taste is creamy and very malty, again as you would expect, with flavors of milk chocolate and coffee. There's a very mild hops presence, but it's on-target with the style. The after-taste is slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and very smooth, medium-to-heavy body, light carbonation, finish is very dry but slightly sticky.

D: Tasty, goes down easily, slightly filling, very mild kick, good representation of style, I don't normally go for this type of beer but this is one of the better Irish Dry Stout's that I've had.

This stout has a creamy, white head. It is dark brown to black and is quite smooth and medium bodied. It's not heavy and has a strong coffee scent and flavor. Our server told us it was added for St. Patrick's Day, but I don't know if it's going to be a seasonal or limited in availability as it wasn't listed amongst the regular pours.

Poured a dark brown color, with red edges, and an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of stronger roastiness, chocolate and coffee. Tastes of the same roastiness with a coffee finish. Light lacing left on the glass.

Had on tap on 4/13/20009. Served in a standard pint glass. Poured a dark brown, almost black, with no light penetration. Two inch thick, tan-colored head with excellent retention and thick sheets of lacing during the session. Lots of roasted character in the nose, as well as a suggestion of chocolate malt and coffee. Taste follows nose, but also a slightly dry, char at the finish. Mouthfeel feel between light- and medium-bodied with minimal, but consistent background carbonation. Maybe a little closer to an American Stout than an Irish dry, but really tasty and easy drinking at 3.5% abv.

Sweet--almost milky--but with a very dry tongue and finish. And a bit of a nasty sour aftertaste. The beer was not quite midnight black and had a thin in density but very thick head on top. lace rimmed the glass. The aroma was very earthy and mossy. The taste was at first milky and sweet, but had a decent enough dryness and hop balance at the end. The beer was very full flavored upon the first sip, but left a dryness on the tongue. The beer was all-around decent enough, but it had an off (sour) after taste that left me with zero desire for another beer.

Not a bad stout but not my favorite. Poured dark blackish ruby color with a nice tan cream head. The head did not last to long but the after taste did. Rather smokey, roasted malt, coffeeish flavor. Nice lacing of the glass for not a lot of head. Clean start and good mouth feel. Enjoyable to drink but not the top on my list. Overall not a bad stout had good stout characteristics. Drinkable and smooth but not the greatest stout I have ever had.

Went to the Coddington Brewery while on vacation in Rhode Island.
The Irish beer was brought in a pint glass. It was deep, dark beer with ruby accents. There was 1 finger's width of creamy head. The beer had a strong crisp taste of coffee.There were subtle hints of chocolate and hops and a bitterness that would not leave the taste buds. There was a strong smell of malt and coffee.There was mild carbonation and I was suprised by the water feel of this beer. It was by far the lightest bodied beer I have tasted from this group of beers.
